Recently joined the forum, just dropped in to say hi  , I recognise a couple of names already *waving to Mai & Ann-Marie*.  I am very new to the soapmaking thing, spent the last 3 or 4 weeks reading & researching & am read to go    & I can't wait 

Don't get too close to the computer I have a streaming cold 

Best wishes
Karen in Brighton

Welcome to the forum!!

Oh you've got a cold, big 

Word of warning, once you start soaping you'll be hooked it's soooo addictive  :mwaha:

Hope you have fun here!!

Welcome Karen, hope the cold is soon over!

Hi Karen 

Hope you have fun here.  At last somebody else dahn sarf!  I'm in Brighton too - up near the Dials.  Where are you?

Jo

Hi Karen and a big welcome from me   

Oh poor you       Wishing you well VERY soon!!

So you are new to soaping Karen?  I'm pretty new to soaping too but my goodness, what an addictive activity.  I generally make lotions and potions but am finding myself deeper and deeper under the soaping spell.  Do you make anything else Karen?

Everyone here is really lovely and very helpful and we do have such a giggle on the Non-Cosmeholic board  :mwaha:

Anyway, a big warm welcome and hope you find this as useful a resource as I do 

Welocme to the board...and I do hope you feel better soon....

Hi Karen

sure you'll enjoy it here and it's nice to hear you're getting to soaping....CP I hope?

take care of yourself with that cold 

Waves to Karen welcome aboard,

Welcome Karen!

 

Welcome Karen. I am new myself but already love it here! Not a soaper myself lotion and potions are my thing) but I know you will find loads of info and support.

How's the cold today Karen?  Feeling any better?   

Hello Karen and 
Hope you have fun (once you are over your cold  )

Thanks everyone for your lovely welcome.
Hey JoJo I am way up high in Woodingdean, right near the racecourse.
Dahn saaaaarf - luv it.  I'm a Londoner but love it dahn here 

Helen, yes new to soaping but fully qualified in beauty therapy, had a salon, sold it some years ago.   I wanted to start making soap & my own cosmetics about 2-3 years ago but my current mail order beauty biz is busy & what with house building & family & Sainsburys etc it all kind of took a back seat - but I'm raring to go now. 

Never get colds but someone actually sneezed on me in the Post Office queue - gawd knows what strain that was - its retreating now on day 3, thank the Lord! 

Off to make some massage melts as a first tiptoe into my new "addiction"

Hey Karen, you is a BT like me    Do you still practice or did you step away when you sold the salon?

So what's your business?  (I'm soooo nosey lol)

The house building and family I get but what do you mean by Sainsburys?  (Again being ever so nosey  )

Glad you are feeling a bit better today, don't it just nark you when people cough or sneeze without so much as a bye nor leave who there doing it on?  I imagine that you are like me, out of force of habbit, I cough into my arm and always away from anything with a pulse & have mastered the art of controlling a runny nose for sustained periods without tissue (as one has to when doing a treatment - unless they fancy having to wash their hand every five minutes cos' they just used a tissue).

Let us know how the massage melts go though Karen
